I had a great time volunteering at the guest house through Worldpackers. The work was straightforward, mainly involving cleaning and doing fire, and the host was very welcoming. The guesthouse is located on a peaceful beach, making it a great place to relax. Overall, it was a great experience, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful stay. You could also look for a job, because you will have plenty of time to do things for yourself. Unfortunately there were no waves in the last weeks, but you can always rent boards for free. That was amazing!! :)

The guest house is an absolutely amazing place to stay and work. The work isn't much and very easy so you can do other stuff like surfing most of the day. Toshi is a great person and host who you only can like. Also a great place to practice Japanese when you're committed to learn.. Overall a beautiful place for my first worldpacker. I even extended and I'm grateful for the time here. わくわくですよ。🤣

If you are into surfing whether you have experience or want to learn, you will love this experience. After a few hours of very simple work, you have the rest of the day free. So whether you want to go surfing, go on a hike close to Aoshima or just chill at the guesthouse is up to you. I don't have anything negative to say about Toshi or my stay in Aoshima in general, so a big recommendation from me.

Truly enjoyed my time at the guest house! The work is only 2 hours a day. Toshi the host is very understanding and flexible. Walking distance to the beach and can go surfing with provided boards every day. I would recommend bringing a wetsuit if you are surfing in autumn/winter months! Easy biking to get to grocery stores. Met so many people that I would now call friends :) I recommend this experience to anyone looking for a chill beach town vibe and those looking to improve their surfing.

I had a really good experience at the guesthouse in miyazaki, the town was very cozy and you live so close to the beach. The workload is very reasonable, straightforward and easy. you can use surfboards for free!

I'm still here because I'm having a great time in Aoshima! I extended my stay as the work is very fair, easy to learn and the staff and team are very kind and generous. Thank you to Toshi, Foo and everyone else that made (and makes) this time so special! If you get the chance go to Aoshima it's beautiful and the beach is 3 mins walk away

I had a great time in Aoshima for the past month enjoying the slow life. The work was easy and straight forward, only taking 1-2 hours, with some additional gardening tasks. Would recommend trying the onsens in the area, as they're relatively cheap and fun to go to.

This was my first Worldpackers experience, and it was awesome! I only worked 2 hours a day and had 2 days off each week. Toshi kept to the schedule, which I appreciated, though I did end up doing a few tasks that weren't in the original description—not a big deal at all! The best part was getting to borrow surfboards anytime I wanted, which was exactly what I was looking for. I'd totally recommend this spot to anyone who loves surfing and wants to chill by the coast.

My four weeks volunteering at the guest house went by so fast, I left wishing I could stay longer! Everything was just like they said it would be. Most days, you only volunteer for about 2 hours, and you can even have a few days off in a row. If you're cooking, I'd totally recommend biking to the farmers market (20 min away) or the Cosmos supermarket (just 15 min by bike). Overall: I had such a wonderful time and I 100% recommend it!

If you're wondering whether you should come here, the answer is YES! This hostel is perfectly located in a small town, surrounded by friendly locals and just steps from a beautiful beach. It's got everything you need, with easy access to supermarkets, restaurants, and public transport. The host is kind and supportive, creating a welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel at home. The hostel offers all the essentials and the work was super easy (2 hours per workday) The best part of my stay was the other volunteers, who made my time an experience I will never forget. Thank you :)
